A urzllier object the invention is to demper le whereby said opening maybe obstructed .is hinged adjacent to 'the outer edge of the opening,vsaid demper being provided with an outwardly extending erin 16 A liuc1,7 for carrying ollhe products of." combustion is mounted. ou the top'plate lll.

Fulcrunied on e support 18 which rises from the top plate 1l is e .lever19, one erm of which is connected with ehe valve stein 13 and with oneend of a {iexilele element 205 which latter is connected at its lowerenwith-olie damper 8 and intermediate its ends with the erin 16; theother erin of the lever 19 carries a counterweiglit 21 for approximatelybalancing the d 8.
